Flower Ice Cubes

Flower Ice Cubes

It’s officially spring now, and even if it’s not so spring-like outside (my sympathies to those of you who are buried in snow right now), bring the spring into your kitchen and your glass with these beautiful ice cubes! These don’t take long to make at all, and can be whipped up the night before a party, or on a day when you just need some extra brightness in your life. Today I used marigolds, nasturtiums and sweet william flowers, but you could use any other kind of edible flower! You could also add herbs to the ice cubes, like mint!  I also recommend using flowers that will easily fit into your ice cube tray (unlike what I did), because they’ll look a lot prettier and give a better “blooming” effect when in your glass.

Ingredients

• distilled water
• edible flowers
• desired juice or drink

Instructions

• To achieve the clearest water and prevent cloudy ice cubes, I recommend using distilled or purified water, but you could also just use tap water instead.
• Fill the ice cube tray half way with water, then place the flowers inside. Place in the freezer, and once frozen, fill in the remaining space with water, and freeze again.
• These are so bright and colorful, so I recommend serving them in a light-colored drink to allow them to stand out. In this recipe I simply used sparkling water.
